Hello,
so I signed up to a driving school franchise, in July 2023, on a train now pay later basis, I had already passed my part 1 which was due to run out August 2024, so I had some training and passed my part 2 in may 2024, I then needed to do 40 hours of driving in order to obtain my trainee licence and get my car through the franchise then take a part 3, so from may to 27th July I had no communication from the trainer at the driving school about the 40 hours even though I had asked. So when I did see him on the 27th July I was told that there was not enough time to book a part 3 before my theory ran out. I feel that if he had contacted me back 3 months would have been enough time to do the part 3, but became theory has run out I now have to do it all again. The driving school are saying that I have breached the agreement and told me I'm not taking it seriously because I did not contact them, but the trainer said he would make contact and arrange a meeting but didn't, they are now saying that I will have to pay the money they've lost out on as a result of me not being a driving instructor, but I've not had a car off them or any work, just some driving training, I'm worried as my sister in law was guarantor for me and they are saying I could end up owing £60,000. Can someone please advise me, thanks
